I would like to see CS at 133 and I am sure EVERYONE whats to see BIG BEN!!!!
As much as Teske frustrates us with his inconsistency, Schreiver is not strong enough to contend with quality 133ers. He has tremendous shots and great conditioning, but cannot finish against better/stronger opponents - and he can’t get out from bottom.

Teske has the skills, strength, and the potential to score significant points in March (not that I trust he will), CS doesn’t.

All IMO of course.
 
Either Terry isn't game-planning with Teske, or more likely, Teske isn't listening.

Hey, Teske: Get to your offense early. Don't just tie up and hang on his head. Pull him, push him, move him, open him up, then take your shot. Your goal is a takedown in the first 30 seconds, and 3 in the first period. Crisp, clean, not roly-polying around. And move your damn feet.

CS has the opportunity to take the spot just like Rathjen has.
If Teske is better in the room or they’re having a wrestle off and Teske wins, then he’s earned the spot.
It doesn’t make sense to put someone else out there, if they haven’t earned it.
As frustrating as it is, those are the facts.

Big match for Ice Man tonight. I’d like to see him put some distance on Joles.

His walkout song should be Danger Zone.

Revin up your engine listen to her howl in’ roar.

I’m not sure what everyone pushing for Schriever is expecting, his results don’t suggest he’d be any better than Teske. He won two very close matches at the SS vs unranked guys from Wyoming and a true freshman from Missouri. He lost an un uninspiring bout to Van Dee from Nebby, then won a close one over Kale Peterson. As stated, he struggles to score TDs. He’s offensive minded and has a great motor, but he’s a worse version of Teske.
 
Do they still sell tickets outside Carver before the match? I'm curious if tickets will be available in person from scalpers or people trying to sell unused tickets or if buying from online ticket reseller with associated fees is only option? Thanks for any help.

The right to wrestle in a dual or to claim the weight doesn’t have to be earned?
When you beat someone out and don’t get the start it’s politics and complete BS.

One of the most endearing aspects of wrestling is the process of winning the spot and not some coach’s decision.

Those are my facts and I’ll respect yours.

Tom Brands has said in the past he goes with the one who performs best under the bright lights. CS may be better in this regard.
 
At this point, not sure I care who goes at 133. Seems like both are inconsistent and 'average'. Still feel like Teske is the better of the 2....on his good days...but both really need to find a way to step it up alot.
I’m kinda in the same boat, with two qualifications:

(1) Bench Teske for a dual or two if it has good odds of lighting a fire under his ass.

(2) Whatever you do, don’t cost the Big Ten an auto-qualifier allocation for 133 again.

In other words, mess around with the lineup only to the extent it actually has a good chance of making a difference while still ensuring we earn an allocation for the Big Ten.

1000x this!

Schriever has had a few matches where he over-performs and gets the board going ga-ga... then goes out and has several poor performances.

He's had ample opportunity to show he can be the guy but doesn't follow through on it.

IMO Teske needs to be the guy and we need to have building to March not swapping starts with CS. These are facts!
 
Anyone have recent update on road conditions between CR and Iowa City?
I-380 is OK but many vehicles still stuck in the snow and abandoned off the shoulder and median. Traffic was moving very slow this morning. I would definitely allow extra time for rough road conditions.

I get that Teske hasn’t lit the world on fire since he came to Iowa, but he has made it to the R12 and R16 at NCAA’s. He has already proven to perform better “under the bright lights” than anyone should realistically expect from CS….
 
Yes, you belong on a basketball blog. Fact
Sorry bro, that is another opinion. You wanna try again?

I don’t understand what’s so difficult. Not everyone actually does “earn” his spot. All it takes is one person not “earning” the spot to make the notion that one has to earn his spot untrue. Once something is not universally true, it is not a fact.

Not to mention how a determination of whether something has been “earned” is already rife with opinion.
 
Objectively, it’s probably the perfect night to give Kueter his first match. In Iowa, dual will likely be decided, and Tabor himself is less than 240 I believe.

Subjectively, I’d love for him to wait one more dual.

A. SS was "under the bright lights".
B. I seem to remember it was more of "who can score the most points for the team at Nationals".

SS was a level and fair test to determine that - just to please you - IMO.
 
Kueter has been told he’s wrestling tonight.

It makes sense for him to go tonight if he is going to be the guy going forward. Wrestling tonight and the remainder of our scheduled duals would give him exactly 8 matches going into Big Tens. I don’t recall offhand whether the conference tourney matches count toward the Coaches Ranking, but 8 is the minimum number of matches needed to get a ranking.

Kueter wouldn’t get the 15 match minimum to get an RPI, and so he’d have to get a Coaches Ranking to earn a pre-allocation spot for the Big Ten at 285 (while also winning 70% or more of his matches).

What is hard to understand is your post. This is about wrestling and more specifically the 133 lb. Spot on the Iowa Wrestling team, nothing else.
In your senseless response, you are excusing the facts of which results and personal performance are the criteria used to determine who earns the spot.

What is the evidence for not earning the spot? Without evidence it’s irrelevant to state not earning the spot makes earning the spot untrue.

Significant does not equate to 0
